Our Coral Reefs Need Your Help

Coral reefs are vital ecosystems that support an incredible diversity of marine life. Yet they face unprecedented threats from climate change, pollution, and destructive fishing practices. Together, we can make a difference.

How To Help Coral Reefs

Conservation Innovations

  • Coral Farming: Scientists are cultivating resilient coral species in controlled environments before transplanting them to damaged reefs.
  • Cold Water Injections: Innovative technology is being used to pump cooler water onto reefs during heat waves to prevent coral bleaching.
  • Genetic Research: Identifying heat-resistant coral genes to help develop more climate-resilient coral varieties.
  • 3D Printed Reefs: Creating artificial reef structures that provide a foundation for new coral growth.

What You Can Do Today

  • Use reef-safe sunscreen that doesn't contain harmful chemicals like oxybenzone.
  • Reduce your carbon footprint by conserving energy and choosing renewable energy sources.
  • Avoid purchasing coral jewelry or decorative items made from real coral.
  • If you're a diver or snorkeler, practice responsible reef etiquette - don't touch or stand on corals.
  • Reduce plastic use and properly dispose of trash to prevent marine pollution.
  • Support sustainable fishing practices and avoid consuming reef fish species.
